Title: Cloud, on the Way

Abstract: It has been 13 years since the first cloud computing service came to the market. Enterprises and SMB obtain big benefits from cloud services, and more and more applications rely on the support of cloud, from legacy to cloud native. For such a long time, public cloud has held the dominant position of the market, and indeed it takes the lead in both technology and awareness. Nowadays, along with the evolution of cloud solution and variety of application scenarios, different notions of cloud have emerged: proprietary cloud, multi-cloud, true private cloud … What are they? Will they become the new stars of tomorrow? How can we expect the customers to choose in the game of cloud service providers, and what about data sensitivity and AI computing power indispensable to enterprises? I will share my view of the next stage of cloud development, and what Yovole is doing as a niche market winner.
